There'll be laughter even after you're gone

18 August 1918 to 6 July 2014

There'll be laughter even after you're gone.
I'll find reasons to face that empty dawn.
'Cause I've memorised each line in your face,
And not even death can ever erase the story they tell to me.

I'll miss you.
Oh, how I'll miss you.
I'll dream of you,
And I'll cry a million tears.
But the sorrow will pass.
And the one thing that will last,
Is the love that you've given to me.

There'll be laughter even after you're gone.
I'll find reasons and I'll face that empty dawn.
'Cause I've memorised each line in your face,
And not even death could ever erase the story they tell to me.

Words and music by Iris Dement from her album Infamous Angel

This above all: to thine own self be true,And it must follow, as the night the day,Thou canst not then be false to any man.
